Does anyone know if someone has built/designed a 'Homebrew' ORIC computer.

I know there's normally two mindsets when it comes to recreating old computers ..
One is to use NEW FPGA type technology to emulate (and usually enhance) the original machine
And Two to use original (Legacy) ICs to produce a Retro (Old School) Machine.

All 'Pie-in-The-Sky' at the moment..but one can dream !

If you are going all the way to add so many new features, why keep a 6502 instead of say 65816 ?

Could have a 65C816 as a 'Second' CPU like an accelerator board with lots of RAM ?

If you're a homebrew or DIY microcomputer builder I may be able to help you with some ICs !!

I have some surplus ICs and would like them to go to a good home, so if you're a homebrew computer builder or mess around with electronics these may be useful. It's first come first served until they have all gone !
